Merwe Gerhard Erasmus (born 11 April 1995) is a Namibian cricketer,[1] and the current captain of the Namibia cricket team.[2]

Career

Erasmus first played at senior level for Namibia in February 2011, aged 15, against a touring Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) side.[3] He made his international and first-class debut against Ireland in September 2011 in the 2011–2013 ICC Intercontinental Cup,[4] and at the age of 16, became the youngest player in the team's history.[5] He was a member of Namibia's squad for the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.[6]

Erasmus was included in the Namibia under-19s squad for the 2012 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in Australia.[7] He captained the team at the 2014 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.[8]

Erasmus played in Namibia's squad for the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Two tournament.[9] In August 2018, he was named in Namibia's squad for the 2018 Africa T20 Cup.[10]

In March 2019, Erasmus was named as the captain of Namibia's squad for the 2019 ICC World Cricket League Division Two tournament.[11] Namibia finished in the top four places in the tournament, therefore gaining One Day International (ODI) status.[12] Erasmus made his ODI debut for Namibia on 27 April 2019, against Oman, in the tournament's final.[13] In May 2019, he was named as the captain of Namibia's squad for the Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier tournament in Uganda.[14][15] He made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut for Namibia against Ghana on 20 May 2019.[16]

In June 2019, Erasmus was one of twenty-five cricketers to be named in Cricket Namibia's Elite Men's Squad ahead of the 2019–20 international season.[17][18] In September 2019, he was named as the captain of Namibia's squad for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament in the United Arab Emirates.[19][20] He was the leading run-scorer for Namibia in the tournament, with 268 runs in nine matches.[21] Following the conclusion of the final, he was named as the player of the tournament.[22]

In September 2021, Erasmus was named as the captain of Namibia's squad for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup,[23] with the International Cricket Council (ICC) later naming him as the key player in Namibia's team.[24] In a warm-up match against Scotland before the tournament, he broke a finger while fielding. However, he decided to continue playing in the tournament and captain his team in spite of the injury.[25]

In March 2022, in the second match of the 2022 United Arab Emirates Tri-Nation Series, Erasmus scored his first century in ODI cricket, with 121 not out.[26] The following month, in the second match against Uganda, Erasmus also scored his first century in T20I cricket,[27] with an unbeaten 100 against Uganda.[28]

In January 2023, Erasmus won the International Cricket Council's Associate Cricketer of the Year award.[29] Erasmus scored 956 ODI runs at an average of 56.23 and took a dozen wickets in 2022, and scored a century in both ODI and T20I formats.[30]

Personal life

As of 2018, Erasmus was a fourth-year law student at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa. His father Francois runs a family law firm in Windhoek and is a former president of Cricket Namibia and associate director of the International Cricket Council (ICC).[3]
